DETALLES: En febrero 16, 2016 en aproximadamente 9:40 a.m., an officer involved shooting incident occurred in the 3100 bloque de Saviers carretera. The suspect in that case has been identified as 55 year old Oxnard resident Juan Soto. Soto was transported to the Ventura County Medical Center with a non-life threatening injury.
While investigating the officer involved shooting (OIS), investigators learned of an incident that preceded the OIS by approximately 10 acta, which involved Soto. An elderly male victim was walking in the 3100 block of Samuel Avenue when Soto confronted him. According to the victim and witness statements, Soto aggressively approached the elderly male while brandishing a knife and made threatening statements towards the elderly male. The elderly male expressed fear for his life, and attempted to get away from Soto. The victim was able to seek shelter from a nearby resident in the area who notified police. Another resident in the area called 911 and alerted police that it appeared that Soto was throwing rocks at passing motorists.
Oxnard police officers arrived on scene and attempted to contact Soto. While attempting to investigate the original 911 llamada, an officer involved shooting occurred.
En febrero 17, 2016 en aproximadamente 1030 horas, Soto was arrested for the actions he committed prior to the officer involved shooting. Soto was arrested for making criminal threats, elder abuse and for brandishing a deadly weapon. Soto was booked into Ventura County Jail.
The events surrounding the officer involved shooting are still being investigated.
Persons with information about this case are asked to contact Detective Jon Ballow at (805) 288-3289.
